So, what is this mod all about?
Compact Storage started off as a mod that added different tiers of chests, it has since evolved into an upgrade based storage system. The Barrel, Chest and Backpack all start off with a 9 x 6 inventory size and can be upgraded using the Storage Upgrades to a maxium size of 24 x 12 (see below!). There are also Drum Storage items which can hold 64 stacks of one item type. This is dependent on the stack size of that item, for example you can store 64x64 Cobblestone but only 64x16 Bottles o' Enchanting. These Drums can also receieve retainer upgrades and be carried around.
This allows for a lot of storage in one block space, this also carries over to backpacks which must be upgraded by putting the upgrade in your offhand and clicking the backpack! This mods focus is on dense storage with an accessible upgrade path.
Storage Options
